Two people were taken to hospital following a fire at a Lundy’s Lane motel, early Thursday.

The fire broke out in a unit at the Advantage Inn at about 6 a.m. and quickly spread to two adjoining units.

Occupants at the single-storey motel were able to evacuate and two people were treated on scene for burns and smoke inhalation, said Ben Trendle, chief of fire prevention for Niagara Falls Fire Department.

Both people, residents of the motel, were taken to Greater Niagara General Hospital for further treatment. One person remains in hospital.

No firefighters were injured.

Damage to the three units is extensive and the cause remains under investigation, Trendle said.

The fire department will be working alongside the Office of the Fire Marshal to determine the cause of the blaze.
